The current era of large scale machine learning powered by Deep Learning methods has brought about tremendous advances, driven by the lightweight Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) method. Despite relying on a simple algorithmic primitive, this era...

We review various recent results aimed at understanding bubbling into spheres for boundaries with almost constant mean curvature. These are based on joint works with Giulio Ciraolo (U Palermo), Matias Delgadino (Imperial College London), Brian...

We will describe recent progress on the existence theory and asymptotic analysis for solutions of the complex Ginzburg-Landau equations on closed manifolds, emphasizing connections to the existence of weak minimal submanifolds of codimension two. On...

One of the major goals of complexity theory is to prove lower bounds for various models of computation. The theory often proceeds in buckets of three steps. The first is to come up with a collection of techniques. The second is to be frustrated at...

The Sato–Tate conjecture, originally stated for elliptic curves on 1963, predicts the equidistribution of the normalized Frobenius traces with respect to the Sato–Tate measure, given by the pushforward of the Haar measure on SU(2). We would like to...

Analogous to Weinstein structures in symplectic geometry, there is a notion of convex structures in contact geometry. We discuss an explicit surgery theory for contact manifolds with convex structures, showing that they naturally decompose into...

Quantum modular forms were defined in 2010 by Zagier; they are somewhat analogous to ordinary modular forms, but they are defined on the rational numbers Q as opposed to the upper half complex plane H, and they transform in Q under the action of the...
